introduced me to lispy languages

And one of the tools was Emacs Live
github.com/overtone/emacs-live

It was a .emacs folder that you could just drop in your home folder and that made Emacs a georgous IDE for Clojure

Requiring people to learn to deal with Emacs before they can write a single line of the language they're approaching is a stupid punishment

I wrote this after reading this thread

@abbienormal I don't understand why people so smart to programming think that Emacs is difficult to use.

@abbienormal Emacs is easy to use. Im not programmer and I use Emacs for to do all. Programming Clojure too

@maxxcan

wait a minute: if you use Clojure, you _are_ a programmer 😁

Anyway, see here

@abbienormal programming in a language is not the same as being a programmer.
